How to consume peanut butter, rice cake cracker without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fats to your snack. Consider topping the rice cake cracker with a slice of avocado or a thin layer of hummus, which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate high-fiber foods alongside your snack. Vegetables like cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or a small apple can add fiber, which can help mitigate spikes.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion sizes. Use a smaller amount of peanut butter and possibly split the rice cake into halves to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Choose Whole-Grain Alternatives

If available, opt for whole-grain rice cakes, which typically have more fiber than regular rice cakes, slowing down the release of sugars into the bloodstream.

Add a Small Salad

Eating a small salad before your snack can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels. Use leafy greens like spinach or kale with a light vinaigrette.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming your snack. Adequate hydration can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Slow Down Your Eating Pace

Take your time to chew thoroughly and eat slowly. This can improve digestion and give your body more time to process the carbohydrates more gradually.

Include Spices or Herbs

Sprinkle cinnamon on peanut butter or add herbs like basil to your rice cake. Certain spices and herbs can have a balancing effect on blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming your snack at different times of the day to see if timing affects your glucose levels. Eating when you are active, such as before a walk, might help in better digestion and sugar regulation.

Regular Physical Activity

Incorporate some physical activity after consuming your snack. A short walk or a few minutes of light exercise can help utilize the glucose released into the bloodstream.
